Unfortunately you won\'t close one single eye at night, because the two big rooms are through-rooms and the door won\'t break a single sonic wave. Moreover there is one toilet for 16 people and one shower for 14. Hot water will work occasionally. So better bring your sleeping pills and deodorant. Sorry, I have to post this since nothing of these inconveniences are stated in your ads!close

Ljubljana is the best place to go in Europe! Things are cheap and cheerful and you are very well served! Beautiful place, plus you can always roam about the countryside which is wonderful (check out Lake Bled, let alone the Alps and everything else).

I would highly recommend you to go there for a few days. :Dclose

We trained it to Slovenia's capitol Ljubljana from Venice for we were going doing an adventure tour in their alps. That was one of the best days we could have done.

That was one of the best days we could have done. We got to do white-water rafting for my first time as part of it. Class! Our guide's name was Rok and he made it one of the highlights of my travelling so far! Eoin and myself then hit the city to see the night-life and we were impressed even though it was a tuesday night. Cant beat 2 euro pints! And the hot slovenian bar-lady Lara. Checked out the city as well the following day and really impressive (hotties everywhere) and so cheap compared to home (or venice)close

The weather was great all the while we were there (mid April). If you're eager to get all the way around on the city you can do it on foot, but it will take a good number of hours. The ratings online for the zoo aren't fantastic, but if it's a quiet afternoon and you like fuzzy...more The weather was great all the while we were there (mid April). If you're eager to get all the way around on the city you can do it on foot, but it will take a good number of hours. The ratings online for the zoo aren't fantastic, but if it's a quiet afternoon and you like fuzzy cute baby animals then definitely go:) The river is lovely to walk down at night and seek out the Pizzaria right down near the river and order "family" sized from the 100 choices of different pizzas! A slice is bigger than a persons head, and it's very very cheap.close

Ljubljana is one of those places then when you've visited you appreciate how beautfiul it is and is even better without hoards of tourists. Plenty to see and easy to walk around the sites as the city is so small. Many cafes and make sure you visit the old town and eat and drink by the river....more Ljubljana is one of those places then when you've visited you appreciate how beautfiul it is and is even better without hoards of tourists.

Ljubljana is an incredible city. After living in the Czech Republic for the past 8 months, I finally had a chance to visit. Slovenia is now on the Euro, and it is a city that is easy on the wallet - 2.50 beers and 6.00 euro pizzas in tourist trap central on the river.

Slovenia is now on the Euro, and it is a city that is easy on the wallet - 2.50 beers and 6.00 euro pizzas in tourist trap central on the river. If I ever head back, I'll rent a bike for sure to get around easier, and to see more sights outside of the historic center. Ljubljana can be done afoot, but biking it would be much nicer. If your hesitant about making the venture to Ljubljana, DO IT! You'll be surprised at the laid back atmosphere during the day on the river, the great food, and the cheap beers. Whereas other European cities feel fast paced and crowded, Ljubljana is a pleasant change.close

Ljubljana is pretty small - but it's exactly its size that makes the city so special! You can do everything on foot, which is especially nice because the best sight is the footwalk along the river.

You can do everything on foot, which is especially nice because the best sight is the footwalk along the river. Check out the castle, the view is magnificient! Also, a day's trip to Piran is worth while: nice medieval town at the seaside - the coastline is a little touristic though and there are no sandy beaches there. Watch out, sometimes busses don't run as scheduled... Anyway, Ljubljana is definitely worth a trip! However, I guess you can see everything in a weekend - unless you want to do some in-depth cultural exchange...close

We felt like we got really excellent food for our money, and people were always eager to help us find our way or chat about our travels.

Even though we visited during the off-season, there were still film festivals and concerts going on ... the city felt very alive. Great views from the castle, quality museums, fresh produce market. I definitely want to return for a longer visit someday!close
